Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario riles fans with full-time gesture for more support after dismal defeat at AZ Alkmaar as struggling stars are told to ‘concentrate on their own performances’

Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario clashed with supporters after the club slipped to a lacklustre 1-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar in their Europa League last-16 tie.

A freak Lucas Bergvall own goal proved the difference between the sides in The Netherlands.

Vicario prevented Tottenham from facing a larger deficit ahead of the second leg, with the Italian making fine stops from Troy Parrott and Ernest Poku.

The 28-year-old attempted to rally Spurs supporters after the final whistle.

Vicario was seen demonstratively raising his arms towards the away fans, appearing to be calling for more support.

Tottenham fans vented their fury back at the goalkeeper following the last blow in a dismal season, with the goalkeeper expressing frustration in return as he walked away.

Tottenham fans reacted to Vicario’s actions on social media, with one accusing the shot stopper of making a ‘sly dig’ at supporters.

‘Vicario has done me, can’t believe he thought it was a good idea to give it large at the final whistle,’ one fan wrote on social media.

‘Vicario et el “geeing” fans up “waving” hands… we all spent the best part of £500 plus, concentrate on own performance instead of sly dig at fans,’ another said. 

‘Vicario giving it the big one to the fans! What u want them to be bouncing about after paying money to watch that s***!!! F*** aff!!!’. 

Others went further by accusing the goalkeeper of having a ‘loser mentality’ and claiming they would be happy ‘if he never wears the shirt again’. 

‘Vicario having a go at the away end. Happy if he never wears the shirt again,’ one claimed.

Another wrote ‘Booed every single one of them *****. Vicario giving to us telling us to get behind the team. Get behind what mate? F*** off. All useless 2 bob. 

‘Hundreds down the drain. You don’t give af. Back to your mansions you go with your 100k+ a week. You don’t care about us.’ 

Vicario had made several vital stops in the match to prevent Spurs from having a greater deficit

The defeat in the Europa League first leg proved another blow in Tottenham’s miserable season

The first leg defeat marks the latest setback in Tottenham’s season, with the Europa League proving their last chance of silverware.

Ange Postecoglou’s side had headed into the knock-out stage of the competition as the tournament favourites, but will have to rescue their last-16 tie at home next week.

Tottenham will return to Premier League action against Bournemouth on Sunday, with the club currently lying 13th in the table having lost 14 of their 27 league games.
